Wah way to loud

Which firmware are you using? How are the other wah settings?
I haven't heard of such a problem.

please provide the settings you use.

have you tried one of the local presets?

Are you sure you've checked the Volume to Wah button ? Also, isthis problem in only 1 rig or in several ?

I also find the wah too loud at times, it pushes my rigs into the red on the output. I can't use wah settings that have too much top end in the toe position like a classic shaft tone because of this. I am using the latest beta but have found this to be consistently the case. I use the CAE stock with the volume in the wah settings rolled back to at least -3 and that seems fine.

I can' adjust my why the way I want it, becourse its a lot to loud.
my wah volume is turned to -5 but every time I swtich it on, the speakers of the pa system gets almost blown to dust
is this a knows issue and is there something I can do about it ?

Are you using the wah in one of the Slot Slots (A, B, C or D)? If you use it in the X slot, it is probably the wrong place for a traditional wah, and would be more likely to cause a boost problem, because the wah's mid boost would be after the amplifier.

@Dorrus - are you using a Kemper EQ stomp/effect as well? I've found that at some settings, the EQ block can really amplify the Wah. If you are using an EQ, try turning that block off to see if it may be the cause.

In any case you wah volume setting should not be +5. If it is better at -5 (even if you find that too loud too) set it there.

I generally set mine around -3 and that gives a fairly transparent crossover.

Level 0
mix 60 to 70 %
pedalrange 29
main level 0
no booster in front of the wah stomp
for clean sounds bring down the mix to 40 or50%
let me know if this works for you. These are my wah levels and they work well for me, no peaks in the cabs.
cheers

I think a lot depends on when you use a wah. If you're in a funk band and it's the cornerstone of your rhythm sound then you need something completely different. If like me in most cases you're pulling it in for lead stuff then a boost can actually be a bonus to make it cut through. As in most cases, other people's settings are helpful but it's horses for courses and trial and error will be your only true answer.

+1 but this is only a tip to get started. When i use a boost i always put it after the wah or in stomp x.
